Trim pump and bypass pressure
I have a large tunnel tab on my cat, it works well. The problem is when I come off a big wave the tab can take a big hit. I have cylinders with 2'' pistons. I know that the pump has pressure relief valves. My question is can I soften up the down side so when the tab takes a hit it will allow the relief valve to open and cushion the hit? Which valve is the down (high) side and which way I adjust it to lower the bypass pressure?

Do both cylinders see the same relief valve? I would suck to have one blow off and not the other...
My suspicion is you will need a way to monitor the line pressure and rig it to a solenoid via a momentary contact switch. You may discover that at times the line pressure is lower coming off a wave than it would be at higher speed in chop. Just a thought, a random blow off could be bad when slogging across a cruiser wake. It would be better to have control of bypass. |
Re: Trim pump and bypass pressure
Bad Dog both cylinders run off one pump. The tunnel flap sees just air most of the time and is fine. but when I come off a big wave and land the tab hits the water it takes a beating, it is at this time that I would like the tab to give a little to help absorb the shock. After it comes up I can readjust. Ant ideas?
